Club career
Belenenses
A product of hometown C.F. Os Belenenses' youth system, Brandão made his debut in the first division aged 17, against F.C. Porto, scoring in a 1–4 home loss on 18 October 2003 when he still had not finished his youth career. He only managed another seven first-team appearances in the next three seasons combined, with a loan to Charlton Athletic in 2005–06 in between (no Premier League matches played).
On 4 February 2007 Brandão played his first league match after his Belenenses return, against Vitória de Setúbal.[1]
Siena
In June 2008, it was announced Brandão had signed with Serie A's A.C. Siena: after a shaky start – he made his league debut only on 20 December in a 1–2 home defeat against Inter Milan – he finished his first season as an undisputed starter.
After the end of the 2009–10 campaign Brandão was loaned to Juventus F.C. for the United States tour, along with Albin Ekdal (owned by Juve and loaned to Siena) and three other players.[2]
Parma
On 22 June 2011, after contributing with only two games to Siena's top flight return, Brandão signed for Parma F.C. on loan.[3] In the following summer the clubs were involved in a player-only transaction, which saw Parma sign Brandão, Alessandro Iacobucci, Giuseppe Pacini and Andrea Rossi, while Siena acquired Manuel Coppola, Paolo Hernán Dellafiore, Abdou Doumbia and Alberto Galuppo – both organizations also retained 50% registration rights on their players.
On 7 July 2012 Brandão left for Serie B club A.C. Cesena, and Marco Parolo moved to Parma in a temporary deal for €1 million,[4] with the latter side also being responsible of €1.8 million in wages.[5] In the following summer, still owned by both Parma and Siena, he signed for Romanian club CFR Cluj along with Denilson Gabionetta.
Belenenses return
On 6 January 2014, Brandão returned to Portugal and Belenenses in a temporary deal.[6] On 20 June he was sold back to Siena, with Galuppo returning to Parma.[7] However, the Italians declared their liquidation on 15 July as the club did not meet the financial requirements for the upcoming season,[8] and the player re-joined Belenenses as a free agent.[9]
International career
After having represented Portugal at all the youth levels, including the under-21s,[10] Brandão made his full side debut on 31 March 2009, appearing as a left back in a 2–0 friendly win over South Africa in Lausanne, Switzerland.[11]
